On May 10, 1930, on the campus of Howard University, in Washington DC, the National Pan-Hellenic Council was formed as a permanent organization with the stated purpose and mission:

“Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.”

Early in 1937, the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and became known as “The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated.”

Kennesaw State University is home to all nine organizations that fall under the governance of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. The chapters come together every Fall to host a week of events for the Kennesaw State community. Throughout the year, the organizations remain active by planning social events as well as hosting community service projects. NPHC Convocation is hosted every semester, and is mandatory for any student to attend that would like to join an NPHC organization.

Each Fall and Spring Semester, the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) hosts NPHC Convocation. At this event, students are able to meet and socialize with members of the Divine Nine. Each Chapter presents about their organization's history and values. This is also an opportunity to learn about the membership intake process and requirements to join an organization.

Attendance is required for any potential new member interested in participating in the membership intake process.
